136: Give me the peach

Feeling the Monkey King's goodwill, Wei Xun could only express his gratitude, "Thank you for your kindness, Monkey King!"

"Hmm!" The Monkey King nodded and then admonished, "If you don't mind, you can stay on Lingtao Mountain for a few more days after the assembly. Be careful of those fellows eyeing your spirit peaches."

"I understand!" Wei Xun looked back at the dozens of ill-intentioned gazes behind him, and his heart sank.

Currently on Lingtao Mountain, with the Monkey King holding the fort, these fellows naturally wouldn't dare to act rashly.

But once he descended the mountain, without the Monkey King's deterrence, these fellows would definitely come for his spirit peaches, which would indeed be very troublesome.

"Be careful!" The Monkey King finished speaking and prepared to turn and leave.

But at this moment, Wei Xun called out to the Monkey King from behind, "Wait!"

"What is it?"

The Monkey King turned his head and asked.

"I have something important I want to tell you, Monkey King!" Wei Xun took two steps forward, ensuring that only he and the Monkey King could hear his voice.

Seeing Wei Xun's mysterious demeanor, the Monkey King frowned slightly but still leaned in, wanting to hear what Wei Xun wanted to say.

Then, Wei Xun brought his mouth close to the Monkey King's ear and recounted what had happened in the Forest earlier.

Hearing Wei Xun's words, the Monkey King's brow furrowed even deeper.

"Purple Robe? Purple Scorpion King?"

"Burning trees?"

When the Monkey King heard these key words, his expression immediately darkened.

"Is this true?" The Monkey King quietly asked Wei Xun again.

"Everything I said is true!" Wei Xun said with a serious expression.

The reason he told the Monkey King these things was entirely due to the Monkey King's recent reminder and recruitment.

Since the Monkey King showed him goodwill, he would naturally reciprocate with goodwill.

If others harbored ill intentions towards him, then Wei Xun would respond with malice.

"I see!" The Monkey King nodded, then casually turned and leaped back onto the stone chair.

However, the Monkey King turned his head and said something to the bird demon next to him, and the bird demon then turned and left the assembly grounds.

Wei Xun also returned to his seat, feeling the ill-intentioned gazes around him.

Although the treasure offering was complete, the assembly was still ongoing.

Normally, it would only officially end after everyone had eaten enough and the Monkey King announced its conclusion.

Therefore, the monsters at the assembly grounds dared not move rashly.

At this moment, a Little One walked slowly to the Monkey King's front, carrying a pot of wine.

"Great King, your Little One will pour you wine!"

After the Little One finished speaking, he picked up the wine pot and poured it into the Monkey King's wine bowl.

With Wei Xun's recent reminder, the Monkey King vigilantly looked at the wine in the bowl, his expression slowly turning grim.

"Dazhuang, haven't I been good to you?"

The Monkey King suddenly said this to the Little One pouring the wine.

The Little One was stunned, then smiled and replied, "Great King has been very good to me; your Little One has no way to repay you."

"Since this King has been very good to you!" The Monkey King looked coldly at the Little One, then said, "Why poison the wine?"

"This..."

When the Little One heard the Monkey King's words, his eyes widened instantly, and his pouring motion stopped.

"Die!"

Seeing that he had been exposed, the Little One suddenly drew the short knife from his waist and slashed at the Monkey King.

The Monkey King merely raised a hand and struck the Little One flying.

"Indeed, the mountain has been infiltrated!" The Monkey King stood up, his gaze sweeping across the assembly grounds, then fixed on the black-robed old Dao sitting below.

The sudden turn of events left all the monsters present dumbfounded.

No one knew why the Monkey King had suddenly attacked and killed his subordinate.

"Purple Scorpion!" The Monkey King stepped onto the stone table, holding an iron rod on his shoulder, "Since you're here, why don't you dare to show your true face?"

The black-robed old Dao, sitting far in the corner, felt the Monkey King's gaze, then raised his eyes and confronted the Monkey King.

"Since I've been discovered, I won't pretend anymore!"

The black robe on the old Dao's body instantly receded, transforming into a long purple robe, and the beard on his face disappeared, revealing the sinister appearance Wei Xun had seen earlier in the Forest.

"I spared your life and let you go back then!" The Monkey King said coldly to the purple-robed man, "I didn't expect you, Little One, to be so ungrateful, and even dare to plot against me!"

"Not killing me back then!" The purple-robed man sneered, "Will be the thing you regret most in this life!"

After the purple-robed man finished speaking, he suddenly erupted from his spot, charging towards the Monkey King on the high platform, simultaneously conjuring a purple-black longsword in his hand.

"Overestimating yourself!" The Monkey King snorted coldly, then, holding his iron rod, swung it down at the purple-robed man.

At the same time, seeing the purple-robed man attack, the assembly grounds suddenly descended into chaos.

Monsters who were originally from Lingtao Mountain suddenly split into two factions and began to fight amongst themselves.

The other monsters who had come to Lingtao Mountain to offer treasures were all bewildered; those who reacted quickly realized that an internal conflict had erupted on Lingtao Mountain, and then began to flee the scene using their respective abilities.

Seeing this situation, Wei Xun also prepared to leave amidst the chaos.

After all, he had already done everything he could, obtained what he wanted, and there was absolutely no need to stay here any longer.

But at this moment, the Male Fox Demon suddenly blocked Wei Xun's path.

"Give me the spirit peaches!" The Male Fox Demon reached out for them.

"How shameless are you?" Wei Xun cursed and tried to bypass him to leave.

But the Male Fox Demon refused to give way, "You must give me these spirit peaches!"

"Why?" Wei Xun scanned the chaotic situation around him, then glared at the effeminate man. If the situation weren't so chaotic, Wei Xun would surely have slapped him.

"I'll trade you something for them!" The Male Fox Demon said with a serious expression.

"I don't want your broken mace!" Wei Xun pushed the Male Fox Demon away and tried to leave.

But the Male Fox Demon continued to pursue him, "I need the spirit peaches to save a life!"

"None of my business!"

Wei Xun didn't want to bother anymore; the Monkey King and the purple-robed man were fighting fiercely, and other areas were also in an uproar.

If it weren't for this fox blocking his way, Wei Xun would have already run down to the mountainside.

Just as Wei Xun was about to leave the scene, his path was suddenly blocked by a leopard demon.

"Give me the spirit peaches, and I'll spare your life!"

Hearing this, Wei Xun couldn't help but frown.

Sure enough, these spirit peaches were highly sought after; he hadn't even warmed them up before so many people were eyeing them.

"Effeminate man!" Wei Xun said to the Male Fox Demon, "If you kill this leopard, I might consider giving you half of the spirit peaches!"

"Is that true?" The Male Fox Demon turned his head to look at Wei Xun.

"True!" Wei Xun smiled and nodded.

"Alright then!"

The Male Fox Demon immediately fixed his gaze on the blocking leopard, flipped his hand to reveal the mace he hadn't offered, and stomped heavily on the ground as he charged towards the leopard demon.

Seeing this, Wei Xun took the opportunity to quickly slip away down the mountain from the side.
